Kettering College receives nearly $431,000 gift
Scholarships and renovations at Kettering College of Medical Arts have received a substantial financial boost from a former Kettering Hospital nurse.
Eva Miller, a longtime Kettering resident who died last year at age 99, left a bequest of nearly $431,000 to Kettering College. The gift is the third-largest individual donation in the school’s 43-year history, according to college officials.
Half of the funds will be used for the Eva Miller Nursing Scholarship, with the remainder contributing to ongoing renovations at Kettering College and to the school’s annual fund.
Miller, who lived near the hospital for 45 years, also donated $310,000 to the college in 2004. She established her scholarship fund in 1998.
“Eva Miller was a nurse at Kettering Hospital from the start,” said Charles Scriven, Kettering College president. “She had a great loyalty to nursing, and a great loyalty to the hospital and the college.”
Miller’s previous donations helped to create a new chemistry laboratory in the Boonshoft Center for Medical Sciences at the college, and also contributed to scholarships and the annual fund. Her total giving of nearly $1 million ranks third overall among Kettering College donors, officials said.
